Admission to the college is primarily through the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE), with admission possible for ranks as high as 12659 in the 3rd round of counseling. The Mechanical Engineering faculty is particularly supportive, offering extra classes for student success. The first-year fee is 12,050 rupees, excluding Saraswati Puja charges, with subsequent semesters costing 4,200 rupees. The tuition fee is 6,500 rupees per year, and the exam fee is 1,200 rupees per semester.
With the Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW), the total four-year fee can be reduced to 2,700 rupees. The maximum total fees are capped at 35,000 rupees for the entire course. The college offers high placement rates in Textile Technology (nearly 100%) and decent rates in Computer Science Engineering (80%), while Mechanical and Electrical Engineering see 50-65% placement rates. The highest package offered is 13.28 LPA by Young Optics, with an average of 3 LPA.
Key recruiters include Wipro, Mahindra, Capgemini, Cognizant, and IBM. Internships are available in the 4th year with companies like TCS and Hero MotoCorp, although not on campus. External scholarships like SVMCM, OASIS, SIEMENS, and coding-related ones are available for eligible students, as the college does not offer its own scholarships or loans. Boys have access to on-campus hostel facilities, while girls rely on external mess facilities due to the lack of a girls' hostel.
Despite lower placement rates in some departments, the college remains affordable and is a practical choice for students aiming for higher studies.
